I'm a huge CJ Mosley fan. If I had to put money on a guy to have long NFL career it would be him.

I don't really ever see any Alabama player as a "safe" pick as there are far too many questions if they are in fact good players or if they are good college players who excelled in the right scheme. The failure of Rolando McClain with his college production scares me when it comes to C.J. Mosley.

I don't think anyone is "safe", but it always seems like the low ceiling and high floor guys that are deemed safe are the ones that bust the most. The top prospects are the safest it seems. Even if they don't always become all pros, I'm sure the top 5-10 picks has the highest success rate for the majority of draft history. Big upside guys can disappoint, but a lot of them are disappointing to people, even if they become quality players (Reggie Bush?)

Well... maybe not, since teams drafting that high are usually not great organizations. The highest rated players, are probably the safest though, lol.

James Carpenter is atrocious as well. I would rank C.J. Mosley among the safer prospects though, because many questions you'd have regarding different responsibilities on the field, ability to handle pro-style coaching, schematic versatility, etc. have already been answered in his case.

Taylor Lewan and Jake Matthews seem pretty safe to me, as I think either would make a good right tackle if not left tackle.
